Yesterday was more of a shopping day (aka spending hours at Lowes and Home Depot) and we didn't get much done.
That being said, one thing that really sucks when you work on a house is when you spend hours and hours doing something for no reason. A few weeks ago, Amanda and Patrick came down for a visit and Amanda spent HOURS scrapping the wallpaper off of a wall in the apartment. Here is the wall now:
Sigh. We had to tear it down due to the fact that it was held together about as strongly as paper mache. Our new strategy is just to tear down walls.
Some progress was made on the outside of the house, as seen here:

We are just waiting for some additional siding to be available, which should be soon. We met some of our new neighbors yesterday, who had some mixed reviews on the siding colors. Some commented that it looked nice and others said that it looked really blue. It's growing on me (and it better since we sure aren't changing it now).
Alok also explored the newly uncovered chimney to determine whether or not it has a flue. After removing some bricks, sticking his hand in the chimney, and becoming covered in soot, he still has no idea.

I also made a brief video tour of the apartment, which can be viewed here:
That's it for now.
